The meters will send readings every six hours to a network of rooftop receivers throughout the city.
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will then be able to bill property owners every month with their exact water usage. Eventually the usage information will be available online.
Currently, bills are based on estimates, and sent every three months.

What is the cost of upgrading to these wireless water meters? At a time when the city claims it's coffers are empty and taxes, tolls, and public transportation fares are being raised how can the city afford to make these 'improvements'?

These meters are tamper-proof so you can't steal the water any more. Next is the Gas, Electric and air!

There is absolutely nothing to love about New York. The weather is lousy all year except for a day here and a day there. The people are always in a hurry to go nowhere, but they're still in a hurry. There is garbage overflowing everywhere, in the street on the sidewalks. The place just stinks! Most of the NY people are rude and nasty. New yorkers don't know how to drive and they park like behaimos on a cattle farm, on top of each other, double park, triple park......mooooooooooooooo.

Bad guess Shmeel! I'm not Milhouse. Sorry. Now don't you feel stupid?
P.S. From the way Milhouse spells certain words I would guess he's from the UK.

He's from BP and based on his logic he was born there and never left except for summer camp in Liberty.
